While the consequences of the first cosmic battle still echo throughout the universe, Nicholas and Zara face their greatest challenge: preventing the past from being rewritten forever. The ruthless Mirov, a being from a distant planet, travels through time to the age of the dinosaurs with a devastating goal: to genetically alter the first hominids - the australopithecines - to create a subservient humanity and annihilate any chance of free evolution. His plan is cruelly precise: to manipulate the fall of the catastrophic meteor so that it strikes Earth at the exact moment when his modified race can flourish and dominate the planet. In this desperate race against oblivion, Nicholas and Zara will not be alone. They will have the strategic help of Merko, the famous alien hero, whose experience and bravery will be essential in confronting Mirov's forces in a hostile and unknown territory. Torn between the love that binds them and the weight of an impossible mission, the trio must travel to the prehistoric past, divert the meteor, and stop the genetic experiments that threaten the DNA of humanity. But every alteration in the temporal fabric generates unpredictable waves in the present, threatening to erase not only history as we know it, but also the very bond that keeps Nicholas and Zara together. Amid majestic dinosaurs, ancestral secrets, and cosmic betrayals, the fate of the origin of life rests in the hands of two young people and a legendary space warrior. The cycle of creation and destruction continues. The battle for humanity's survival has just begun.

A true Alexandrian never fears the sea. A true Alexandrian never turns his back to the waves. Ali knows that those myths end today. If he faces the Blue Mountains, he dies. If he tries to outrun them, he dies. While the people of Alexandria are still anxious about their dark nights and dead phones after the 1st wave of EMP, they are unaware that Wave 2 is coming and the Bride of the Mediterranean is about to be wiped off the map for good. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Ali is the only hope for his family to flee from the inevitable, but he has to choose: either he runs for his life, or he dies with the people he loves.

It's a new year and Gauntlet finalist Codi James is back for round two. With her new position at the top ranked Battlecast Academy and with last year's victor no longer competing, it seems like the fates have aligned to give Codi a clear run at winning the tournament once and for all. Armed with state of the art equipment, a rigorous training schedule and a scholarship fund to let her focus on nothing but the Gauntlet all year round, she has one goal: first place. But this year the game has changed. She's not the plucky underdog anymore. Codi has the weight of expectations on her shoulders, and there are those who view her leap to fame through jealous eyes. This year her battles won't be confined to the arena, and now she has everything to lose. [Sequel to The Gauntlet]

(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres. With the fate of many of her friends still uncertain, she must race against time to uncover the Apocalypse's plan, pacify the government, and tried not to get killed by her grandmother.

But convinced she is HIS Clary, the one rumoured dead by the Clave, Jace tries his very best to save her and bring her back to the Shadow World. To him. Things are complicated when they find something that can threaten the whole of the world-something far worse than Sebastian Morgenstern. Many are after it and the Clave are thrown into a havoc-especially since it involves Clary and Jace himself. Jace will stop at nothing to keep Clary safe his actions may cost him his Nephilim blood, his family and his ultimate love, Clary. _____________ © 2014 by @EndarkenedWarrior
